Shooting Stars

"We should try that machine over there," Madeline suggested, her eyes glimmering with pure excitement. Even if she felt quite tired, she wanted to win that teddy bear for herself. 

"Got your eyes on a certain prize?" Xavier questioned. 

Madeline nodded, "Yeah, that teddy bear."

"This is the part where I volunteer to win you that prize."

"Oh come on."

"No no, my lady has spoken. If she wills it, I can only follow and do my best to get her what she so desires."

Madeline swatted his shoulder playfully, "You."

"I'm not kidding, give me the coins."

She hesitated, before she handed him the bag of coins.

"Here you go."

"One favour."

"Hmm?"

"Teach me how to use a claw machine." 

He handed her a coin, and she quickly taught him how the claw machine worked, which was way easier than Xavier had expected.

"So it moves the direction I want it to by just pushing this contraption in said direction?"
